cmtar, I would expect a Dish 500 for 110/119 and another with just 1 LNB for 61.5, though you may also be able to use a Dish 1000/1000.2. Your area should eventually get the Dish 1000.4 but that requires having only MPEG4 receivers with the new smartcards.

What 2 dishes? Is there a way i can req the dish 1000 so i can only have 1 dish, i do not want two dishes on my house

It would be 2 Dish 500s. Since Dish doesn't yet carry Columbus GA locals at all, you may be able to use a Dish 1000. Two things that may foil that plan are line of sight to 129° (check at http://www.dishpointer.com) and that your locals may be added to a slot other than 110, 119 or 129.
